Making a Craft Space/Room with ZERO bucks!
I have always wanted a REAL craft room!
When we bought our house there were two rooms that were candidates...
the basement storage room ended up being the winner!
I was rooting for the other one but it ended up being a guest room.
But...I'm just happy I get a craft room at all!
I'd love to fancy it up like all the fabulous rooms on Pinterest...
Like this one...

But for now...with ZERO dollars to spend on a Craft Room...this one will have to do!
Yes, those are Costco tables! So?!?
The dresser is from IKEA...cost $40 when we bought it two years ago.
Lucky for me...it was a spare and was just sitting there all empty and sad!
NOT ANYMORE!
My Jar O' Chipboard Letters...think this was once a cookie jar or something...not sure!
It's amazing to me that I had all these wonderful storage containers...and tray...just laying around!
The bookcases are also IKEA...bought two years ago...can't remember how much we spent.
Uh...just noticed I'm missing the Y in FAMILY! Hmmm...
Here are a few BEFORE shots....
but these aren't the REAL before shots...
these are the midway to organizing BEFORE shots!
Now...this is what my 'family room' now looks like...
and I have NO CLUE where I'm going to put all this stuff!
Sigh...





















I love your craft room, I am also on a zero dollar for craft room budget. I use a folding table for my main work space as well, then if I ever need more room for sewing something large i can scoot it away from the wall without much of a disruption.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteWonderful room, I'm with you! I would be just happy to have a room! Love all of your thrifty additions, great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteYour craft room is fabulous...and so is your entire blog. I was drawn here to see something someone pinned on Pinterest - then one thing led to another. I skimmed through the WHOLE THING. You are so creative and thrifty -- and a very clear tutorial giver :)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work. I will be back to see the 52-week project. Oh, just so you you know - you have inspired me to get a few things done - I am cleaning my microwave with your special Lemony Cleaner at this very moment, saving my 13 hundred bucks with you, and I will soon be sporting your no-sew ruffly scarf.
